I have pressed "forget network" on the xoom several times when trying to connect. As for the router, do I remember setting it up? No, as a matter of fact I didn't set it up. Could I configure this thing from my laptop?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Of course, anything that's connected to the router should let you configure it. It's too complex to explain here, but you need to enter the router through it's IP address and find the configuration.

Find the manual for the router you have and go from there.
[Xoom General] droiduser1988:
I'll try to look into that, any idea as to wtf happened? This is beyond an inconvenience..
[Xoom General] Rich W:
I'm having much the same problem. After entering the passphrase it says 'obtaining ip address from....' and thats all. It never connects??? I have tried 'forget' several times and no luck.

I have been able to connect to unsecured wifi with no problems.
[Xoom General] jcampbell037:
Use the free app "wifi static". Config to assign you a static IP on that network only and dhcp on others. Its something within android as I have the same issue in my phone with a few networks but not most.
[Xoom General] Rich W:
OK, tried it. NO GO! After entering the passphrase it STILL says 'obtaining ip address from....' I may be doing something wrong with the app since it comes with absolutely NO directions. If this is going to be an issue average folks will take it back!
[Xoom General] sgtcasey:
Have any of you with this issue verified that the DHCP scope on the wireless network is not full or that DHCP is even allowed? The fact it works one place but not another tells me the issue may be with the network and not the device.

[Xoom General] je2345:
I was having the same issues as you originally at first until I reset my router and my Xoom.
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
I also had this issue, I ended up fixing it by upgrading my router BIOS. the version that was on there was dated 2004 (yikes), and though the most current update was only 2006, it seems to have fixed the problem.

That or the reboot after the update as previous poster said and the update didn't really have anything to do with it, but either way it got fixed.
[Defy Android Development] feroz2u:
I fixed my defy earpiece problem which was getting dead again and again.

I found that there is a defect in the design of speaker.

Connection point on the speaker is so tiny and is not sufficient to make good and reliable contact with main board.

Solution:----

Dont do this unless you are good confident that you can reassemble the device and ready to take risk.

take a small piece of aluminum masking tape cut it in two tiny pieces and apply those pieces on both the speaker's connection point and you are set.

reassemble your phone and enjoy..

Important :---Defy's speaker is stick on front housing proper care is required while removing it.

[Defy Android Development] sevensaints:
still thinking of getting one...but it scares me knowing the problems..

good video!
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
the earpiece problemis solved in newer batches of the phone.

its pretty unlikely to buy one that still has the issue.

and even if you get so unlucky, its covered by the warranty.
[Defy Android Development] SimboXXX:
Motorola did no recall of affected stock and there is still plenty out there with faulty earpiece.
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
With a possible faulty earpiece.

I've got one of the "old" models and been using it for 3 months now - and the earpiece is still working like a charm.
[Defy Android Development] netrider01:
Also using an "old" defy for three months now - no problems yet.
[Defy Android Development] arixal:
for the ones using old defy without problem.. one question.. have you used the wired handsfree headset? cause some say that it caused the earpiece connector to fail..

I myself haven't used my wired handsfree. with the consequence of unable to use the fm radio.. :(
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
Like, basically every day, yes.
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
btw, on our russian disscussion board we found that earpiece is replaceble with sony-erricson's earpieces with lightly moding. phone is still sealed from water earpiece itself could not surviwe after swimming )
[Defy Android Development] Semseddin:
@feroz2u

Thank you :)

@Fedor,

What type of SE earpieces might be compatible with defy after a little modding ?
[Defy Android Development] Lemark:
Mine is also 3 months old and have no problem so far. But I'm really curious as to exactly when they began shipping the re designed stock of defy. I want to know if the earpiece failure is still potential in my defy.
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
mute

activating and deacticating the mute button solved the problem on my device. i will report if that holds after a few phone calls in the next days. can somebody else confirm this solution?
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
i can confirme that this was the first method i used before sending the device to Motorola, it works only a few days this way, the tendence is that the problem will grow up more and more.
[Defy Android Development] ovu85:
mine allso had some problems with the earspeaker after a good wash under the tap. the sound was very low. but after 5 minutes it worked just fine.

some body else had that problem?
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
There's a long thread about this on the Motorola support forum for the Defy. The official advice buried in there is:

If you remove the battery you should see a label inside the battery compartment with a bar code and the words "Made in China". If the characters above "Made in China" include "BTxx" or "BFxx" then the phone should not be at risk of suffering the earpiece problem. Alternatively, if there is a blue dot on the label then the phone should also not be at risk.

Note that I say "at risk" -

not

having "BTxx" or "BFxx" or a blue dot does

not

mean that your phone

is

broken. My phone does not have any of those reassuring markings but the earpiece has been fine so far, touch wood.

Bear in mind that there can be other reasons for the earpiece to fail, over and above the known fault which Motorola have acknowleged. So even a phone not in the "at risk" batch can still go wrong for other reasons eg mistreatment, or a one-off manufacturing error.

[Defy Android Development] crazyjosi:
I got a K850 speaker from ebay and it works better than before
[Defy Android Development] juried:
There was just some water in the earpiece hole blocking the sound. Same can happen with the microphone hole.
[Defy Android Development] rubjonny:
my defy was supposedly one of the 'fixed' ones and it was broken brand new out of the box!
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
As the saying goes: sh!t happens.

That would have been down to a manufacturing fault, and the retailer would have been legally obliged to replace it immediately, or offer a refund (Sale of Goods Act). It wouldn't have been a Motorola warranty issue.
[Defy Android Development] rubjonny:
yeah crap speaker contact design makes manufacturing faults more likely.

my replacement defy was startign to break litterally days after i got it. sometimes it goes all cracly and i have to push the back of the phone in the middle to make it work again.

so motorola have fixed nothing :(

edit: its a blue spot one
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
My Defy is a BT33 and NY (so "safety" batch according to Motorola), bought on February, but its earpiece died yesterday...

So...motorola really have fixed nothing.

(just bought two K850i earpieces from ebay :) )
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
I bought a Defy+ new, in October of last year and yesterday I started having problems too...:mad:

The ear speaker still works but your sound is very low with litle noises, almost not heard.

DAMMM :(

EDIT: Can anyone confirm if the earpiece of first Defy/MB525 is compatible with the new Defy+/MB526?
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
I don't think it's the same problem. Could it be water damage
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
The phone has never been in water... :eek:
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
Warranti ended since 7 days :( so buy new speaker on ebay for 4.36€ + 1.76€ and my Defy is ok now, my first Defy go to warrant on 26 july ^^ so for the moment speaker is dead all 7 month :rolleyes:

thanks

it's very easy to change :D
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
Yes but that speaker is not compatible with Defy+, I already send a message to seller and the guy confirm that :(
[Defy Android Development] rubjonny:
I actually did this a few weeks ago when my earpiece died complely. after taking it apart I can see the problem isnt the contact design, if it was loads of other parts on the phone would fail as well since the same contacts are used all over it. So Id say the problem is the speaker itself probably they got a bad batch or when they tried to waterproof the design they compromised the speaker in some way.

I had to buy 2 earpieces in the end as the 1st one that was sent was far too big to fit, but the 2nd one was ok with the usual 'trim the lugs off' mod.

the first one was a 'K550' which didnt fit, the 2nd was a 'K550 & K550i' (both genuine) which did. seems pot luck as said earlier in the thread! both were under £3 so I wasnt that fussed

Tmobile has kindly provided a theme manager, and CM7 is using it at its full potential.

Why aren't the other roms here?

We can finally take out the trouble of having to flash each rom, but just downloading an .apk installing it then selecting apply.

Or is the theme manager, not compatible or not usable with the roms we have??

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazatan:
Currently is only developed for .4X basebands, maybe in the future when we get a stable ROM it will support other basebands, I think its easier that way, if you want to install it, download the file that is posted on the CM7 thread, inside it includes all you need to flash your X10 to .4X baseband and CM7 ...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ward24:
Is there a how to cause like I said I'm a noob and need a how to lol and how often is it that they do come out with all basebands cause I want cm7

So my mom got a droid x brand new and best buy put a screen protector on, but they did it wrong so the phone made a red dotted line to show where a dirtspec/airbubble was so we went back they fixed it, but the red line wont go away, its super annoying, please help..
[Droid X General] mav3rick478:
Sounds like a dead pixel, have them replace the phone because I've put 2 screen protectors on and pressed like hell with the included cardboard squeegee and haven't had any issues.
[Droid X General] Lofi Goosh:
Yeah... The DX doesn't have a feature nor the hardware that will let it know that there is an issue with the screen being dirty. Take it back... and if they give you crap, raise some hell. :)
[Droid X General] rivaaaa253:
Thanx man good advise, verizon is preety damn mean when it comes to customer service y'know! Like really u can buy a brand new fone and then it breaks and its not your fault and they wont give you another new phone! :(
[Droid X General] rivaaaa253:
But how can it be a dead pixel if its like a digital red line running down the screen...?
[Droid X General] Lofi Goosh:
They could have broken a whole line of pixels when they put on the screen protector by putting too much pressure, but it could have been other causes... your screen seems to be broken...
[Droid X General] rivaaaa253:
But the line comes and goes but its always in the same place??
[Droid X General] Lofi Goosh:
I still think it's a broken screen... but one way to find out. Take a screenshot on your homescreen when the line is there, then post it here. Maybe a second opinion can be provided.
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
could be stuck pixels? check JscreenFix in the market.

Pulled some info from Wikipedia too,

If an LCD display is subjected to physical shock, this could cause one or more TAB connections to fail inside the display. This failure is often caused by horizontally flexing the chassis (e.g. while wall mounting or transporting a display face up/down) or simple failure of the adhesive holding the TAB against the glass. TAB faults require replacement of the LCD display module itself. If these connections were to fail, the effect would be that an entire row or column of pixels would fail to activate. This causes a horizontal or vertical black line to appear on the display while the rest of the display would appear normal. The horizontal failure runs from edge to edge; the vertical failure runs from top to bottom.

While your line is not black, maybe it is getting stuck on rather than off?

Either way, I'd probably have verizon replace it, would not be fun if you find some temporary fix that stops just after warranty is up.

Im currently on a captivate and will be on a droidx tomorrow. I need help moving all my apps+app data and music and pictures along with my downloaded files. Do I run TIBU on my captivate and then transfer the files to my pc? Then root droidx and transfer files from pc to the x and run TIBU? If so what directory does titanium store the backup in so im sure to copy to pc.

Also what is the root method on the X if you could point me in the right direction

THANK YOU
[Droid X General] Lofi Goosh:
On the SD root, it should be a folder named Titanium Backup. I suggest you copy that entire folder to your PC.

Pictures are in DCIM.

Not sure about music, I had created my own folder for that called... umm... Music.

As for rooting, Z4Root is the best. Don't know if this is the latest version:

I would like to go back to using MDJ CM7 v2.6 (DFT flash) but the kernel that comes with it gets pretty bad signal drops in my house.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shogun26:
I have an Evo (003 Hardware) and while switching ROMs, at least twice now, I've had trouble restoring some apps using Titanium Backup. The weird thing is, I'ts only some apps, that are having the restore problem, while others seem to be restored, but without their settings saved. (Google Listen is an example of the former, while AdwEX is of the later.

I've verified the backups themselves, and they come back without errors, I've also tried flashing different ROMs like Myn's new Warm Z, MIUI, and Koni's Elite II. Those have no trouble restoring. Seems the problem is confined to the nightlies, as I'd installed RC1 before without issues.

Anybody have an idea what's wrong?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
When re-flashing the roms, try a clean install, and also flashing the latest gapps. Not flashing them has been seen lately to cause a few apps not restoring, or some just missing completely. Best to do it in 2 recovery sessions, backup, flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shogun26:
I always do a fresh install. Wipe data, cache and Dalvik, plus flash Calkulin's Format All.

I haven't tried flashing ROM and gapps in different sessions, as that brought trouble pre-rc1, I'll try that now, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I practice the 2 recovery session as a standard, sometimes it works in 1 session, but when it doesn't the 2 session step bring me no problems; but let me know what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shogun26:
turns out, that wasn't the problem. Two-session flashing didn't bring any issues, which I was glad to see (although it did switch the wallpaper, that's just weird). What did help was this post from the rc1 thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11722822&postcount=1603, where this exact problem is described, but I happened to miss it while searching somehow. anyways, it finally restored the apps, but not their data. I guess that's better than nothing, but again, just plain annoying.

If you can get ahold of an unlocked Telus DHD you can get away with the data plan you currently have.

If you use the Inspire you will get caught since they have record of the IMEI numbers.

People use Visionary or Gfree. Bith are good! I rooted usibg visionary r12 and havent rooted since and flashed like 7 roms already. I dont get the fuss about gfree. To me visionary got the job dobe bacm then
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I used Visionary too, but I think it was right before or around the time when people here started to say that method might cause some semi-bricks (or else I was bad at reading everything and missed the warnings). I used the Visionary method b/c I thought it was the easiest and safest at the time.

My takeaway from reading the various threads here is that Visionary seems slightly more likely to cause semi-bricks, and therefore not considered as safe as gfree. There has been a lot of discussion and debate here about Visionary being good/not good or safe/unsafe. But I think its hard to really know how likely a problem is to happen. Visionary works most the time. If that's you, you're golden. If not, well . . . then Visionary is not so good.

The gfree method is a bit more complicated, requiring you to input a good amount of commands into ADB and the terminal emulator. So you need to be careful you type the commands exactly per the instructions. But as with any rooting or flashing activities on these phones, follow the instructions carefully and you will be fine.

SO each method seems to have its risks and pros and cons. Of course, the choice is ultimately yours. If you haven't found all the guides, this page is invaluable:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916431

The gfree method is in the Wiki (first link in the Guides).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You only need to root once and you can flash all million ROMs after that if you want (with the exception if you flash a stock ROM that removes root). So I'm not sure what you are getting at.

Perma-root on Visionary is a one time thing. Either it works or it doesn't. So if it works, you don't have to worry anymore about whether that method was not as safe as gfree. If it doesn't work, well that's a different story obviously.
